Small Changes, Big Impact: A Live Employer Panel

Recorded live at the Flexibility Works Summit, this episode brings you a full panel discussion with four Scottish employers who've made flexible working actually work in their businesses- not in theory, but in daily practice, across very different industries and constraints.

Facilitated by Sarah Jackson OBE, the panel features:

🔹 Linda McCall, Co-Owner & Financial Director, Alba Facilities Services. On introducing a permanent four-day week and the impact on staff turnover and business performance

🔹 Hayden Feeney, HR Director, Centrica. On building a flexibility framework across 22,000 colleagues, rooted in leadership sponsorship rather than rigid policy

🔹 Jeanette McAllister, Owner & Managing Director, McAllister Litho. On making flexibility work on a factory floor, where the work itself can't move

🔹 Stephen Curry, Managing Director, R&W Scott. On a multi-year journey from a traditional 40-hour week to flexible arrangements that improved both morale and profitability

The conversation closes with Sarah's "three magic ingredients" for making flexibility work, a simple framework any leader can take away and apply.

This episode also includes a live audience Q&A, with real questions from employers and HR leaders navigating their own flexibility journeys.

Whether you're just starting out or already flexible and looking to go further, this episode offers honest, practical insight from people who've actually done it.
